X-O Manowar: Black, White & Gold #4

This anthology issue offers three new short stories, each spotlighting a different chapter in the life of Aric of Dacia. Derek Fridolfs opens with My Heart's Keeper, a moving look back at Aric's years as a Visigoth fighter and the wife taken from him during the Vine invasion.

Louis Southard follows with X-O Manowar vs. The World, in which an unknown force turns the heroes of the Valiant Universe against reason and Aric is the last one able to hold the line. AJ Ampadu and Rafael Ortiz close things out with Rome Can Starve, where a young Aric leads a bold raid on a Roman camp to free a captured Visigoth cook. Renato Guedes provides the main cover.
